Lyrics[]
Father, dear father, come home with me now
The clock in the steeple strikes one
You said you were coming right home from the shop
As soon as your day's work was done
Our fire has gone out, our house is all dark
And mother's been watching since tea
With poor brother Benny so sick in her arms
And no one to help her but me
Come home, come home, come home!
Dear father, please father, come home!
